Climbers
Counterweight
HOW COULD IT BE DONE ?

4. COMPONENTS

5. Initial production takes place on earth.
THE TETHER

6. The Earth anchor will consist of a mobile sea platform.
THE ANCHORS

7.  Used as launch vehicle.
 Payloads from 20,000- 1,000,000 kg.
 Velocity up to 200km/hr.
THE CLIMBERS

8. Free-electron lasers used to deliver power.
Reduced power delivered at high altitudes.
THE POWER

10. COST COMPARISON

14. ∗ Opening of Opportunities:
Open up opportunities to research further into space.
Inexpensive source of space travel.
Helpful for future space missions.
ADVANTAGES

15. ∗ Energy and Cost Efficiency:
 Energy efficient compared to the use of rockets.
Decrease in the annual usage of energy.

16. ∗ Job Openings:
 Jobs are created from the construction.
Provide long term jobs to many people.
Long term job in the maintenance the elevator.

17. ∗ Telecommunication:
 Reduce the costs of telecommunication.
 Normal human to be connect with the rest of the
world.

18. ∗ Decision on the place of this Elevator:
 Place there is no extreme weather and natural disasters.
DISADVANTAGES

19. ∗ Cost Overruns:
Increase in costs due to rapidly changing technology.

20. Testing collision property of nano tubes.
Testing frictional property of nano tubes.
THE FUTURE

21. ∗ Space elevator is future of space travel.
∗ Will help spread human civilization beyond earth.
